Sna Jolobil
Next to Santo Domingo, Sna Jolobil exhibits and sells some of the very best huipiles, blouses, skirts, rugs and other woven items, with prices ranging from a few dollars for small items to more than M$32,000 for the best huipiles (the fruit of many months’ work). Sna Jolobil is a cooperative of 800 indigenous women weavers from the Chiapas highlands, founded in the 1970s to foster the important indigenous art of backstrap-loom weaving. It has revived many half-forgotten techniques and designs.

Mercado Municipal
For a closer look at local life – and an assault on the senses – visit San Cristóbal’s busy municipal market. Vendors peer from behind pyramids of tomatoes and mangoes, and you’ll find dozens of varieties of chilies, as well as bloody butchers’ stalls and fly-plagued dried-shrimp stands.
